Heating and cooling for coastal homes.

Cottages, bay houses, hillside homes and remodels in Newport Beach and along the coast.

New systems

Adding cooling, or replacing old heat.

Coastal houses are often small-roomed, tightly spaced and short on attic space. We choose the system to fit the house, not the other way round.

  • Ductless heat pumps — one or more slim indoor heads, no ducts needed
  • Ducted heat pumps — where there is room in the attic or crawlspace
  • Replacing wall furnaces — compare the options

Looking after it

Salt air is hard on equipment.

Within sight of the water, salt settles on outdoor coils and fittings and speeds up corrosion. Placement out of the direct spray, a regular freshwater rinse and a yearly check make the equipment last longer.

  • Annual service: coil, drains, electrical and refrigerant
  • Repair of heat pumps, furnaces and ductless systems
  • Quiet operation checked — neighbours are close
